RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
.A new module stream: `php:7.3` RHEL 8.1 introduces `PHP 7.3`, which provides a number of new features and enhancements. Notable changes include: * Enhanced and more flexible `heredoc` and `nowdoc` syntaxes * The PCRE extension upgraded to PCRE2 * Improved multibyte string handling * Support for LDAP controls * Improved FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) logging * Several deprecations and backward incompatible changes For more information, see link:https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration73.php[Migrating from PHP 7.2.x to PHP 7.3.x]. Note that the RHEL 8 version of `PHP 7.3` does not support the `Argon2` password hashing algorithm. To install the `php:7.3` stream, use: [literal] ---- # yum module install php:7.3 ---- If you want to upgrade from the `php:7.2` stream, see link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/installing_managing_and_removing_user-space_components/index#switching-to-a-later-stream_managing-versions-of-appstream-content[Switching to a later stream].

Description Robert Scheck 2018-11-25 21:57:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
PHP 7.3 is likely to be released within the next month. Thus I hereby
request to rebase PHP in RHEL 8 to PHP 7.3 to not ship an already old
version with RHEL 8 final release like it happened with RHEL 7. Given
that PHP 7.1 is going to be EOL about half a year after RHEL 8 final
release, this is a further argument IMHO for a rebase.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
php-7.1.20-2.el8+1700+11d526eb.x86_64
php-7.2.11-1.el8+2002+9409c40c.x86_64

Actual results:
PHP 7.2/7.1

Expected results:
PHP 7.3/7.2
Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2018-11-25 21:59:18 UTC 
Cross-filed case 02260327 at the Red Hat customer portal.
Comment 4 Kyle Walker 2019-02-20 15:21:16 UTC 
Thank you for the request. After discussing this request with the applicable teams, the ongoing plan is to continue with the existing 7.1 and 7.2 module stream. With that being the case, I am renaming this request from the initial rebase request to a reflect that the current intention is to include the PHP 7.3 release as an additional module stream in future.

Comment 5 Branislav Náter 2019-02-20 15:37:17 UTC 
Just a small correction, only php 7.2 will be shipped on 8.0 GA (no php 7.1).
Comment 6 Kyle Walker 2019-02-20 15:45:52 UTC 
Ah yep! Sorry for the miscommunication Branislav.

Comment 22 Robert Scheck 2019-07-19 11:37:15 UTC 
Why will the RHEL 8 version of PHP 7.3 not support the Argon2 password hashing algorithm?
Comment 23 Remi Collet 2019-07-19 11:57:08 UTC 
> Why will the RHEL 8 version of PHP 7.3 not support the Argon2 password hashing algorithm?

As PHP 7.2, because libargon2 is not available in RHEL-8

Notice in PHP < 7.2.21, and < 7.3.8, argon2 password are weak, so better to not use them.
Comment 24 Remi Collet 2019-07-19 12:24:18 UTC 
I think that proper way to update from 7.2 to 7.3 is:

# dnf module disable php
# dnf module enable  php:7.3
# dnf update
Comment 25 Remi Collet 2019-07-19 12:31:56 UTC 
And for memory, downgrade from 7.3 to 7.2 is:

# dnf module disable php
# dnf module enable  php:7.2
# dnf distro-sync
Comment 26 Vladimír Slávik 2019-07-19 13:29:51 UTC 
Disable does nothing regarding packages, so that's half a solution really. The official documentation based on DNF team recommendations says you need to remove the packages too:
